Bad Scientists
Original Release Date: 03/18/4885
Bad Scientists were always honest about their backgrounds. No, they were not certified in any field of science or mathematics, but they had witnessed the phenomenon known as "string theory" firsthand. Most today know this as String Law, but in 4885, it was still regarded as a mere theory, begging to be proven. The trio of Bad Scientists (Emmitt, Keenbeen, and Wouldstokk) had heard the theoretical framework in passing but were surprised, in the summer of 4884, to have stumbled upon the aforementioned strings in a routine space flight. Only passengers, the invisible coffers opened to them, the strings that connected the universe suddenly revealed to them. Vibrations surged through each string, transferring heat, energy, and momentum in every direction. The spaceline regarded this blip (seen by other passengers) as "an anomaly caused by space dust caught in the shuttle's window sashes." The public accepted the explanation, and so did most of the other passengers, except, of course, for the Bad Scientists. Already working on a debut album, they scrapped the intended sound (polka meets black metal) for an otherworldly sound matching the chaos and beauty of the strings in the pitch-black void. The move proved, in theory, to be the right one. The album revived the debate on String Theory, pushing legislators to fund scientific research to find ways to turn the discovery into a Law. Space travel and intergalactic construction, management, and conservation would be affected. String Theory, the album became somewhat of an anthem to the egg-headed and four-eyed, though the band lacked these physical attributes themselves and propelled the trio into the niche world they had no intention of entering. Their follow-up, Hypothetical, failed to make a significant splash due to the band's lack of scientific knowledge. One listener was quoted, rather unhappily, with a phrase that followed Bad Scientists for the rest of their career, "They should probably just stick to music."
